I've run Ubuntu numerous times myself, using VMWare, always was a pretty smooth OS.

Edit: I've literally run nearly every OS available on a PC system, every MS OS 9Including betas), most Linux distributions...and on and on. Ubuntu was the smoothest performing of them all, and most functional, for what I thought was needed.

I'd say it's 98% there. I had one issue in which if i didn't run the game resolution as the same resolution on my desktop the game was half on screen and half off. Change d that and all was well! I'm getting about the same performance as windows, maybe a few FPS less. Also it's not detecting directx9 so i don't get the nice looking water. But other than that... works swimmingly!

Photoshop CS2 on the other hand... i can't freaking register the stupid thing so i have to muck around with some registry shit that will fix that.

I think I will slap this on to my now secondary 74GB empty raptor and see if I can't get some dual boot action going.

I like Vista but what's wrong with probing around with something that could be better for certain situations? The Beryl action looks pretty nifty and I am curious to see how everything flows and works.
